I have a
problem regarding my XML and self closing tags.
An example is an <img src=”…” /> will be rendered as so <img src=”…”>
- without the close tag “/”
The reason for this is that you have instructed the parser to render HTML instead of XML.
In this linethe output should be changed to xml.
EDIT: This will probably mess up your layout since I suspect the empty <div class="clear"></div> will collapse so in order to make sure that does not happen write it as either <div class="clear"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></div>, which will insert an empty space or use <div class="clear"><xsl:comment /></div>, which will render an html comment like <!-- --> in the output.
Sometimes it's so plain simple to find an answer yourself, which also costs less time than creating/typing this topic. So I thought I'd just point the topicstarter in the right direction. Maybe that'll also help for the next time.
Problem with self closing tags
I have a problem regarding my XML and self closing tags.
An example is an <img src=”…” /> will be rendered as so <img src=”…”> - without the close tag “/”
An example of one macro
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"

<div class="divMenuSeperator">

Hope this helps.

Yes it is, and I was not being non-friendly ;-)

Cool, maybe I just read it wrong :)

Regarding the http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/xslt-useful-tips-and-snippets/stop-html-tags-from-self-closing link - i read it.
Ive tried
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><img alt="seperator" src="/media/2294/menuseperator.png"/></xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<img alt="seperator" src="/media/2294/menuseperator.png" />]]></xsl:text>
Didnt do the trick
@Jan - Thanks for the <div class="clear"><xsl:comment /></div>... now the menu dosnt collapse when useing the output mothod = "xml"
Hi Martin
Happy to hear you got it working :-)
Please mark the post as solved so others can also benefit from the solution.
Have a great day.

Or, like the link suggests, use a non breaking space: <divclass="clear"> </div>
